The Dog League: Week 2 Review(2017 Season)

It's time to recap Week 2 of the Dog League season. (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com)






Tailwaggerz

After getting blown out last week, it was a much closer affair for Tailwaggerz in Week 2, although the result was still the same. Much of their downfall came from playing three starters(Jordan Howard, Jordy Nelson, Jimmy Graham) that all combined for less than one point. There were positives to take away from the game, though, and the main one was overall top scorer Tom Brady, who rebounded from Week 1. The overall close score and games elsewhere did mean that Tailwaggerz actually moved up in the standings, to third place.

Week 2 Scoring(lost to Ridiculous Rascals 89.38-98.9)

QB Tom Brady(30.78 points)
RB Le'Veon Bell(9.1 points)
RB Jordan Howard(0.7 points)
WR Jordy Nelson(0 points)
WR Mike Evans(15.3 points)
TE Jimmy Graham(0.1 points)
WR Doug Baldwin(4.4 points)
K Stephen Gostkowski(12 points)
DEF Baltimore Ravens(17 points)


Leaping Girl

Another week, another loss for a Leaping Girl squad that is steadily going backwards. The big problem this week is that nobody really bothered to even show up for the game, with only two players(Drew Brees and Delanie Walker) getting into double digits. It's also worth noting that Leaping Girl also left 15 points from Alshon Jeffery and almost 12 points from Dez Bryant on her bench. Emma's got to get things sorted out, and soon, or else this will be a sinking ship.

Week 2 Scoring(lost to Tug of War 72.54-124.78)

QB Drew Brees(22.24 points)
RB LeSean McCoy(4.3 points)
RB DeMarco Murray(2.8 points)
WR DeAndre Hopkins(7.3 points)
WR Amari Cooper(3.3 points)
TE Delanie Walker(12.2 points)
RB Dalvin Cook(6.4 points)
K Justin Tucker(6 points)
DEF Seattle Seahawks(8 points)


Ridiculous Rascals

It hasn't been pretty, but Ridiculous Rascals are now 2-0 on the season. They were down by over 50 points early on Sunday, but crawled all the way back, with Matt Bryant delivering the win with 14 points on Sunday night. With only three players in single digits, this was a strong team performance by the second best team in the league. Jordy Nelson's injury in that Sunday night game was a serious asterisk in the win for Rascal, as was Ezekiel Elliott's poor game, but Rascal has to be happy with this game as a whole.

Week 2 Scoring(won against Tailwaggerz 98.9-89.38)

QB Derek Carr(21.2 points)
RB Melvin Gordon(13.8 points)
RB Ezekiel Elliott(2.2 points)
WR Brandin Cooks(4.3 points)
WR Tyreek Hill(4.9 points)
TE Rob Gronkowski(17.6 points)
RB Marshawn Lynch(10.9 points)
K Matt Bryant(14 points)
DEF Arizona Cardinals(10 points)


Tug of War

If anything, Week 2 proved that no one is ready for Tug of War. It was another easy win from the defending champs, with the result never in doubt. Todd Gurley and Kareem Hunt led the way, with only Antonio Brown and Dan Bailey finishing in single digits. Impressively, the bench put up 71 points as well, proving that this team has no really weaknesses. How do you defeat Tug of War?

Week 2 Scoring(won against Leaping Girl 124.78-72.54)

QB Matt Ryan(14.88 points)
RB Todd Gurley(23.6 points)
RB Kareem Hunt(22.9 points)
WR Julio Jones(10.8 points)
WR Antonio Brown(6.2 points)
TE Travis Kelce(16.3 points)
RB Leonard Fournette(12.1 points)
K Dan Bailey(7 points)
DEF Kansas City Chiefs(11 points)




Stay tuned later this week for the preview to Week 3, which features the Ridiculous Rascals facing Tug of War in a top of the table clash.

American Dad "Twinanigans" Review

It's been a while since the last Steve and Roger episode, and this week reminded me why that's such a classic American Dad pairing. This is a genuinely fun episode, filled with some great one liners and even a great callback to the show's past. "Twinanigans" centers around the heretofore unmentioned acting careers of Roger and Steve, who twinned it up as the Smith Brothers. I'm not going to question whether this backstory actually makes sense to the overall timeline; no one watches American Dad for continuity. Steve had to give up acting to attend kindergarten, and wants to give Roger a second chance at greatness. The two head to auditions, where Steve impresses and Roger blows it. It's here the episode kinda misfires, as it's never made abundantly clear why Roger struggles so much at acting. Is he just trying too hard, does he have some form of stage fright, does he not even know what acting is? This part of the story is just never explained, w...

Curious Crab

One Monday night my mom looked into my crabitat and found that a crab had climbed into one of my fake trees. It was in the top branch. I looked in later, and found that the crab had fallen out of the tree. I hope he is okay. What a day!

The Route of Life

dedicated to my hermits, who changed my life Ch 1 My Hermit crabs Hermit crabs are sometimes hard to take care of. Especially when you never had a hermit. Last Sunday afternoon I got 2 Hermit crabs. Their names are Crabbe and Goyle. I have talked with many sales people. The first Petco we went to (where we got the hermits and their things) seemed to have no idea on the subject. So we ended up going to Dolphin Pet Village. They were more experience at the subject. Now we have some of the things we will need. Last week, I went to a second Petco. There we got a cuttlebone, which is the bone of a fish. Now they look happy. Have a good day Hermit Crabs! Ch 2 Curious Crab The week before last week, my mom looked into my crabitat and found that one of my crabs had climbed one of my fake trees. It was on the top branch. Later, when I was changing to get ready for bed, the crab fell out of his branch. I hope he is okay. He’s definitely starting to look okay. How funny do you think that story is...
